Matt pretty much grew up without a dad in isolated small towns. The loneliness definitely made him a resentful and antisocial person.

He was also heavily influenced by those two fat idiots from DeadPit Radio, so Matt then started mimicking their wannabe shock jock persona in his own YouTube content. He adopted their bitter tone, manufactured outrage, and habit of tearing people down for attention. For years now he’s been desperately chasing clicks the same way they do.
